What are permission groups?

The three permission protection levels in Android are as follows:

Android app permissions can give apps control of your phone and access to your camera, microphone, private messages, conversations, photos, and more . App permission requests pop up the first time an app needs access to sensitive hardware or data on your phone or tablet and are usually privacy-related.

Android categorizes permissions into different types, including install-time permissions , runtime permissions, and special permissions.

<permission-group> Members of a group are presented together in the user interface . Note that this element does not declare a permission itself, only a category in which permissions can be placed. See the <permission> element for element for information on declaring permissions and assigning them to groups.

A permission group is a query that returns a set of users based on defined criteria . Permission groups enable you to express your security needs in very rich ways. They simplify security management on your site.
